Picking became easier and Sweeping became somewhat easier ? Anyone ever tried playing with the Pick Upside Down and would you recommend it ? Are there any Pros that do this ?

If you hold your pick with the point side facing down, and pick a curve from either the left or the right of the point, It doesnt sound muddy.

Although I can play it like that, I don't really like the sound. Im starting not to like it either, I switched over to Jazz III's now and when you play chords with the pick upside down it does sound nice So I bet there are situations where you can use it.

A pointy pick results in a more precise sound, but fast picking is a bit harder than with a more rounded pick. I suggest that you just experiment a bit with different picks (shapes and materials) because picks actually can have a big influence on your sound. I even thought about doing a small video lesson about picks and how the can influence your sound... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
